Strawberry Chocolate Overnight Oats

Jan 4, 2022 · Leave a Comment

Sharing is caring!

Who knew overnight oats could be so fun? Add a chocolate shell top and it’s just as luxurious as dessert!

Overnight oats are the perfect breakfast on the go, but they can also make for an easy dinner or snack. They’re packed with protein and fiber, and you don’t have to spend hours in the kitchen prepping them. Just throw the ingredients together in a bowl, put it in the fridge, and wait!

Ingredients

  • Oats
  • Milk (I used almond milk)
  • Cinnamon
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Freeze Dried Strawberries
  • White Chocolate

Recipe Ingredient Notes

The Oats: I use Bob's Red Mill oatmeal. You can find it here. I like this brand because I know the oatmeal is reliably gluten-free: "Bob's Red Mill Gluten-Free Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats have been thoroughly segregated, tested, and re-tested to confirm their gluten-free status" (found on Bob's Red Mill website).

The Milk: I like using non-dairy milk. Usually, I prefer to use oat milk, but in an oatmeal recipe, it just seems like too much oat. Luckily, there are lots of other options. I used almond milk here, but flax milk would also be amazing. Or, dairy milk would be just as delicious.

Freeze Dried Strawberries: I'm relatively new to freeze-dried fruits, but I really like them. I found these freeze-dried strawberries at Target, but they're pretty much available everywhere. Plus, they're an awesome on-the-go snack.

Notes on the chocolate shell

After pouring the chocolate over the top of each oatmeal bowl, don't forget to chill in the fridge for at least 10 minutes. The chocolate needs time to harden to give you that satisfying crunch.
